Janelle Monáe goes topless for cover: ‘I’m much happier when my t–ties are out’


Janelle Monáe has been baring it all, and she loves it.

Monáe — who is non-binary, pansexual and says her pronouns are she/her, they/them and “free-ass motherf–ker” — landed on the cover of Rolling Stones’ Pride issue, and she’s continued her pattern of showing skin.

The 37-year-old’s cover shots leave very little to the imagination, showing off her nude body ahead of the release of her upcoming album.

“I’m much happier when my titties are out, and I can run around free,” Monáe told the magazine.

The actor and singer’s naked skin has been a big theme in her life recently.

On the red carpet for the Met Gala, she stripped down into a bikini, with a hoop skirt around her head that could transform into a dress draped over her body — and she even gave fans a closer look into every angle of the pearl-embellished bikini on her Instagram.

Earlier this month, Monáe posted a video of her coming out of a pool wearing a wet, white T-shirt that read “PLEASURE” across the chest — which allowed her to free the nipple.

The Grammy-nominated singer appears topless underwater in the cover artwork for her latest album, “The Age of Pleasure,” with her nipples pixelated.

“The Age of Pleasure,” which comes out June 9, is Monáe’s “most sensual and indulgent album yet,” and has helped the singer shift her way of life.

“Most people don’t understand what’s going on in my brain. Community has been so helpful to me; it’s beautiful that I have a title called ‘The Age of Pleasure’ because it actually re-centers me,” she shared. “It’s not about an album anymore. I’ve changed my whole f–king lifestyle.”

Her new album has helped the “Hidden Figures” actress understand the importance of having a community and has helped her combat anxiety.

“I want things to feel so true to my life … I used to consider myself a futurist. I know what that means, to obsess about the next thing. A present tourist is what I’m calling myself right now. I’m actively focusing on being present,” she said.

Monáe’s previous albums have often focused on resistance, reflecting prevalent issues and shedding light on bigotry, but the new album instead focuses on what’s already been accomplished.

“This album is not about a fight,” she shared. “It’s about living in an oasis created by us for us. Even with everything going on in the world, this is our moment to breathe together, unapologetically taking this beat to enjoy — to hurry up and live.”
